In due time, a package arrives care of Mr. Silversmith. Marked "fragile", it contains a replacement mirror for the one lost to wager:

The mirror itself is astounding in clarity, using mercury with a glass substrate as the Venetian craftsmen of old. Measuring 2.5 meters high by 1 across, it provides a commanding reflection of any room it is placed. The frame seems to have been carved out of seasoned driftwood with a certain nautical flair, clearly intended to blend well with the Ocean mural adorning the ceiling of the private smoking room.

Both baroque & elegant, it is a magnificent piece, which would grace any room with it's cool, silent, majesty.
